Wartime tales

MENTONE Life Saving Club historian David Grant has written a book commemorating the members of the Mentone Life Saving Club who fought in World War II. The book will be officially launched later this month and its pages tell the story of the 74 male and 12 female members of the Mentone Life Saving Club who saw active service in World War II.

Angling for better boat ramps Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ANGLERS are lobbying the state government to invest in boat ramps and launching facilities around Port Phillip Bay. VRFish, the peak body for Victorian recreational fishing, has released a ‘state election wish list’ as the state election campaign officially begins ahead of the 29 November poll.

High on the wish list is a push for the major political parties to commit to investing $39 million over four years to upgrade boat ramps along the coast.

The group’s state council developed the state election wish list over the past two years to promote “the enormous public good in recreational fishing” and maximise “government investment into key programs, projects and services”.

VRFish has welcomed the Coalition

government’s weekend announcement of its ‘Better Bay Plan’. Premier Denis Napthine visited Carrum on Sunday to commit $65m “to protect and restore Port Phillip Bay”.

The Premier announced the government would phase out commercial netting across Port Phillip Bay if reelected.

Existing commercial licences will be bought back for $20m over four years.

The plan includes fishing pier up-

grades in addition to a previous promise to spend $3.25m revitalising Mordialloc Pier. The Better Bay Plan includes $200,000 to be used to build an artificial reef off Mordialloc Pier.

VRFish said the Coalition’s $16m Recreational Fishing Initiative had provided many lasting benefits and the previous Labor government had also made a similar level of commitment to recreational fishing.

Beach “renourishment” programs at

Carrum beach and Aspendale beach will cost $260,000 and $600,000 respectively.

VRFish says user demand for boating facilities, especially during the summer months, are hindering recreational fishing and holding back the state’s economy.

Boaties and recreational fishermen are regularly forced to queue at Carrum boat ramps during peak summer periods.

Remo St ‘best option’

quality and diversity is maximised, and open space is provided which suits the changing demographics of this local area.”

The council’s vacant Collins Street, Mentone works depot site provides it with a golden opportunity to increase open space parkland in this area.

Despite this, and notwithstanding a large increase in residential apartment development and ever increasing number of residents, the majority of councillors still intend to press ahead with a proposed sale of this land to an aged care developer. I understand there was no proper analysis or independent expert report done to rigorously address the choices available and to ensure a properly researched council decision.

The councillors in favour of sale to an aged care developer were invited to but did not attend a meeting at the Mentone Bowls Club on 8 October organised by The Mentone/ Cheltenham Parkland Group.

The clear feeling of the meeting was that the Remo St, Mentone site (a site with almost as much area as the Collins Street works depot site), next to parkland, is a better site for a redeveloped larger aged care facility and that Collins St is a better site for much-needed parkland. I am informed that councillors have never discussed or considered these matters together.

They should do so now, consult widely with the community, reconsider the future use of the Collins St depot site and use the site to improve open space parkland in the area.

‘Zealots’ delay Bay Trail

Preserve green wedge

DISAPPOINTING to read Maureen Lim’s attempt to square off on behalf of KRA for denying Kingston residents the amenity and safety benefits of the long awaited Bay Trail (Letters, The News 29/10/14).

Ms Lim implies KRA is some sort of mothership for other concerned groups who supposedly are representative of the broader community views. This is not the case, and the manner in which she misrepresents issues such as the amount and quality of vegetation to be removed or the ability or vehicles to park safely in Beach Rd, should her plan be adopted, is mischievous, if not downright reckless.

The previous council barely had a plan for the Bay Trail thanks to the bloody mindedness of a few environmental zealots, however this council has worked hard to achieve a compromise position that represented a concession to all interested parties.

We were confident that the good faith agreement would stand and work could commence, and it would have done so but for KRA lodging a last minute appeal to VCAT. Make no mistake, Ms Lim spends enough time around VCAT to know exactly what her appeal would do, waste time and cost ratepayers more in unwarranted fees and charges.

It seems to me that Ms Lim may not even be aware of where the trail is to commence given that she makes such scurrilous comments about residents having their views improved by the works which is simply false and designed purely to create resentment and distrust in the broader community.

Groups such as KRA can play an important part in a community but only if they act in an objective and measured way, which in this case I believe KRA has failed to do.

Cr Geoff Gledhill, Central Ward

FOUR Kingston green wedge defenders met with MP for Mordialloc Lorraine Wreford last June to canvass support to preserve the Green Wedge from rezoning and development.

We robustly argued for the northern extension of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway (now to be called the Mordialloc Bypass) to be aligned along Springvale Rd, thus avoiding intruding into the western part of the magnificent Braeside Park.

This would free up tens of hectares of open terrain for the enjoyment of residents and visitors. Ms Wreford was non-committal, although she then announced $10.6 million worth of planning with the Premier Denis Napthine.

It is hoped that the Springvale Rd option is given true evaluation and the results of any determination made public following transparent community consultation. We simply cannot afford another ‘cloak and dagger’ fiasco like the East West link ‘truck funnel’.

Mordialloc does not need a bypass; it does not even need an aspirin.

Its tourism dependent and general businesses are vibrant, busy and beckoning.

The preservation of our Green Wedge can only enhance this. It is essential to have areas of serenity in a clanging, banging, clamorous and, increasingly, threatening world.

Environment call to marginals

‘Halo’ reins in offenders

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

A KINGSTON police operation targeting Beach Rd – Operation Halo – brought bayside motorists to book last month with 602 offences detected.

The campaign held over four weekends detected 22 cyclists, 25 motorists and five pedestrians disobeying traffic lights, as well as 36 cyclists not wearing helmets and 63 motorists caught talking on their mobile phones while driving.

Acting Senior Sergeant John Ballas, of the Kingston Highway Patrol, said Operation Halo on 4, 11, 12 and 25 October aimed at reducing road trauma to cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists.

He said police provided a “highly visible” presence along Beach Rd from Port Melbourne to Frankston, covering the cities of Port Phillip, Glen Eira, Kingston and Frankston.

The operation was supported by the Annual Safe Cycle Campaign.

“Police were concerned with the high number of drug and alcoholaffected drivers detected,” he said.

“Twelve were found to be on drugs and seven were drink-driving.”

To coincide with the Spring Racing Carnival, Kingston police last week conducted Operation Furlong targeting drink drivers.

ENVIRONMENTAL activists are targeting Carrum and Mordialloc voters to make action on climate change a highprofile political point in the lead up to the state election.

Environment Victoria and online activist group GetUp! have joined forces to spread the word about environmental issues in the marginal bayside seats of Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc.

The organisations are pooling resources at the Enviro Hub at Wells St in Frankston and hitting the phones, streets and doors in the marginal electorates to try to convince voters to “send a strong message to our politicians” to “pledge to vote for your environment and your future”.

Environment Victoria opened the doors of the Enviro Hub for the first time in June this year.

Environmental Victoria community organiser said local voters had been receptive to holding major political parties to account over environmental policies.

“Politicians tell us people are not interested in the environment as an issue but we find that’s definitely not the case,” Ms Stabb said.

She said Environment Victoria had decided to campaign in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc since they are marginal seats which could potentially hold the balance of power at the 29 November state election.

“These seats are important at state and federal level so political parties take a great interest in the issues raised.”

Environment Victoria is also campaigning in Forest Hill, east of Melbourne.

Poll push: Environment Victoria’s Jane Stabb, left, and GetUp!’s Claire Boland and volunteers are calling and visiting Carrum and Mordialloc voters to highlight political parties’ environmental policies in the lead up to this month’s state election.

Picture: Gary Sissons

The organisation has about 200 volunteers “on the ground” in the four marginal electorates and aims to convince at least 770 voters in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc to think about the environment first when deciding which candidate to vote for on polling day.

The 770 represents the collective number of votes in the margins in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc held by independent MP Geoff Shaw and Liberal MPs Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wreford respectively.

Ms Stabb insisted Environment Victoria is non-partisan but said there had been “really destructive attacks on the environment since 2010 when the Coalition gov-

ernment was elected” in Victoria.

She said the government had walked away from a commitment to cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent by 2020, cut solar power feed-in tariffs, was pushing development in national parks such as Point Nepean and was “anti-wind farms” as a renewable energy source.

“They’ve made it more difficult to build a wind farm than open a mine,” Ms Stabb said.

She said the Labor Party and Australian Greens candidates had been “most receptive” to talking about environmental issues and they had spoken “informally” to candidates from all major parties.

“We haven’t been able to formally sit

down with any of the Liberal candidates yet... we have invited them to come in to the Enviro Hub and talk at any time.”

GetUp! community organiser Claire Boland said the activist group, renowned for its online campaigns and fund raising, had decided to team up with Environment Victoria in Frankston since “we were looking at the same communities to campaign in to make a difference”.

Ms Boland reckoned “about 80 per cent” of the people door knocked by GetUp! agree to sign the pledge to make the environment “the top issue” when they decide how to vote.

Voters mention bayside foreshore protection and “Mordialloc green wedges” as key subjects political parties should consider when deciding on policies.

“We’re pushing quite hard to make the environment their number one election issue,” Ms Boland said.

She said GetUp! members and supporters had made it clear climate change and the environment was their “number one issue” when polled by the activist group.

GetUp! had not yet decided whether to hand out ‘how to vote’ cards on polling day, according to Ms Boland.

“We’re non-politically aligned and we’re still in internal discussions about that,” she said.

Ms Stabb said Environment Victoria would not tell voters how to vote.

She said Environment Victoria’s alliance with GetUp! over the past three months had “absolutely supersized” the grassroots campaign to make the environment a state election focus in the targeted marginal bayside seats.

Aged care options still open Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AGED care homes at Mentone’s Corben House and the Mordialloc Community Nursing Home could remain in place after Kingston councillors voted to seek legal advice on the possibility.

At the most recent council meeting late last month, councillors voted to push ahead and seek expressions of interest for an aged care provider to build a new aged care home at Collins St in Mentone which would see Corben House and the MCNH close their doors in a few years’ time.

Cr Rosemary West’s notice of motion to have council seek legal advice on the possibility of running a dual request for proposal process was nar-

rowly passed five-three at the council meeting.

Crs West, Tamara Barth, David Eden, Paul Peulich and Steve Staikos backed the proposal to seek legal advice. Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees and Geoff Gledhill opposed the move.

Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting.

Cr West said a not-for-profit aged care provider had indicated they could step in and manage both the MCNH and Corben House aged care homes.

New federal government regulations introduced this year which stipulate aged care homes should provide ‘continuity of care’ as residents age have prompted Kingston Council to follow the lead of councils elsewhere and exit the aged care management sector by

the end of this decade (‘Council gets out of aged care’, The News 15/10/14).

Council argues ageing infrastructure at existing council-run homes at Corben House, Nixon House in Mordialloc and Northcliffe Lodge in Edithvale would make ‘continuity of care’ impossible for council to provide.

The community-managed MCNH approached council for help when it recently suffered financial difficulties.

Cr West said there seemed to be “unseemly haste” to proceed with the Collins St aged care home plan and wanted council to also consider an alternative.

“If we are able to run both processes... we would be in a position to work out what’s the best outcome,” she said.

“What happens if an aged care developer isn’t prepared to take over man-

agement of all those [existing] sites?”.

MCNH’s Remo St site could be expanded to accommodate a 70-bed facility and could be used in conjunction with Corben House to ensure ‘continuity of care’ similar to the proposed Collins St aged care home, according to Cr West.

Some councillors, including Cr West, and some Mentone residents would prefer to see the former depot site at Collins St used for a public park instead of a new aged care home (Open space ‘invader’, The News 29/10/14).

Correction: Last week’s article ‘Open space invaders’ incorrectly stated Cr West’s bid to have council seek legal advice failed and Cr Peulich voted against the move.

CEO reappointed KINGSTON Council CEO John Nevins has been awarded a new fouryear contract until November 2018.

Councillors unanimously voted to reappoint Mr Nevins as council CEO at the most recent council meeting.

Mr Nevins has been Kingston Council CEO since 2005. He was forced to take extended leave in 2013 for nearly a year as he battled cancer.

Corporate Services general manager Paul Franklin was acting CEO during Mr Nevins’ leave period.

Mr Nevins received the ‘all clear’ to return to work earlier this year.

Councils’ CEO contract details are kept confidential.

Kingston Council’s 2013-14 annual report shows the position’s remuneration is in the $350,000$400,000 range.

Final chapter THE last ‘Page Turners’ event for the year, a literary discussion group stepping beyond the pages of favourite authors, is at Mentone Public Library is at 2pm on Wednesday 12 November, at the library at 36 Florence St, Mentone.

Car parking spaces War letters recall dark journeys an election pledge Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MORE car parking spaces will be available at Mordialloc and Parkdale train stations if the Coalition state government is re-elected.

Premier Denis Napthine has promised to spend $3 million on 75 new free parking spaces at Mordialloc and 110 new spaces at Parkdale as the battle for marginal bayside seats along the Frankston line shape up to be pivotal at this month’s state election.

Parkdale station’s railway pedestrian crossing will also be upgraded to include automatic gates.

“This is part of the Coalition government’s ongoing commitment to improve public transport and give people genuine choices and options for their daily commute,” Dr Napthine said.

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said the two stations were used by about 4000 people each week.

“We will work with the City of Kingston to provide upgraded parking and increased spaces on Crown land that is adjacent to these two stations,” Mr Mulder said.

Liberal Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said the new car parks would “not only encourage more people to use public transport, they will also make the stations far more user friendly”.

The Australian Greens have criticised the decision to install more car parking spaces at train stations along the Frankston line.

Greens upper house candidate for the South Eastern Metropolitan, Nina Springle, said money would be better spent on improving public transport options.

“We need improved connections between trains and buses so that commuters can leave their cars home and get to work on time” Ms Springle said.

“What we really need is stronger bus services to ferry commuters to rail stations.”

Ms Springle said “pumping money into car park expansion will just mean more road congestion, placing an unfair burden on residents and businesses near the station.”

If the Greens hold the balance of power after the state election on 29 November, Ms Springle said the party will “push for improved bus services, the best solution to this issue”.

Ms Wreford holds the seat of Mordialloc by a slim 1.5 per cent margin after an electorate boundaries redistribution late last year.

Transport improvements on the Frankston line are being promised by both the Liberal and Labor parties with the seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh regarded as crucial to the outcome of the 29 November state election.

A BOOK commemorating the 74 male and 12 female members of the Mentone Life Saving Club who saw active service in World War II will be launched at 6.30pm on Saturday 15 November.

Club historian David Grant OAM has written the book containing 750 letters from members serving overseas posted to club secretary Bill Spunner. It contains 370 pages and has more than 150 photos.

Sadly, six club members did not survive the war and died in action or as prisoners of war.

Remember Me, Remember Us is a poignant reminder of the family nature of sporting and social clubs of the time. “The soldiers’ letters were addressed to the president as ‘Pop’ Harris, to secretary Spunner as ‘Uncle Bill’ and his wife as ‘Ma’,” said Mr Grant, who joined in 1956.

“In those days, clubs were everything to their members. They were all friends who played sport together, socialised together and partied – and then patrolled the beaches.”

Lifesaving skills were a useful inclusion to a soldier’s kit. Mr Grant said one member saved the life of a pilot by diving off a boat to rescue him.

He said letters making up the book came from all theatres of war – New Guinea, Europe, the Middle East…

One he recalled was from a Lancaster bomber pilot later shot down over Hamburg.

“The writings cover the full gamut of their emotions concerning the ups and downs of a soldier going off to war, of facing certain danger but not

knowing how it would all end,” he said.

“And don’t forget they were away four of five years, which is a big chunk of a 20-year-old’s life.”

Having read the letters and knowing what the young members went through, Mr Grant said “it’s no wonder when they came home they didn’t want to talk about it – they just wanted to forget it”.

Descendants of those who fought

are welcome to attend the book launch at the club in Beach Rd near Naples Rd. Mr Grant can be contacted on 9580 4541.

Purchase details for the $35 Remember Me, Remember Us book can be found at the 1500-member club’s website at www.mentonelsc. com The Nippers season starts on Sunday at 10am.

Talk about drugs, alcohol not cheap Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FIRST there’s the dreaded ‘chat’ about the ‘Birds and the Bees’ and then there’s ‘The Other Talk’ – the one about drugs and alcohol - that parents must have with their children.

This is not an easy conversation – although perhaps a little easier than the first – but it has increasing relevance in a community where alcohol and other drugs seem to be on every street corner.

The topic gained a new focus last week, with the Australian Drug Foundation launching a free resource: a booklet to help parents and carers have ‘The Other Talk’ with their children about alcohol and other drugs.

The new resource is a first port of call for families, with information that can make having ‘The Other Talk’ easier, as well as tips for how to start conversations about drinking and drugs, checklists for planning safe teenage parties and key information all parents should know about alcohol and drugs, young people and the law.

“As we approach the end of the year, many young people will be attending parties, holidaying with friends and going on end-of-year trips – all of which are times when young people can be exposed to al-

cohol and other drugs,” Australian Drug Foundation research chief Julie Rae said.

“Parents are familiar with the talk about sex: now it’s time to have ‘The Other Talk’. We all want our children to grow up healthy, and having The Other Talk can help prevent future problems.”

Kingston Proactive Policing Unit Sergeant Lisa Prince said having a conversation with their child about alcohol and drugs was vital.

“Having spent many years working with young people I am more aware than most of the importance of early intervention when it comes to the subject of drugs and alcohol,” she said.

“I have seen first-hand the consequences of young people abusing alcohol and drugs, including accidents, health problems and social problems.

“While parents are not the only influences on a young person’s life, their attitudes and expectations play an important role in healthy development.

“Introducing these discussions early in a child’s life is good practice for encouraging open communication in their teenage years, when young people are more sensitive and less likely to either initiate or participate in such discussions.”

Wear orange to support SES KINGSTON residents are being asked to wear orange next Wednesday as a show of support and thanks for SES volunteers.

Wear Orange Wednesday will be held on 12 November this year and there is no better time to show appreciation for the emergency help the SES provides.

Chelsea SES spokesman Phil Wall said the past 12 months had been an extremely busy period for the Kingston unit.

He said Chelsea SES volunteers had also worked in support roles around Victoria when not helping those closer to home.

A fire at the Yallourn open cut mine in February, car crashes, storms in June and October, the difficult search for a missing three-year-old boy in Dandenong Creek, and a plane crash in Chelsea last month were just some of the many incidents Chelsea SES volunteers attended.

SES member Richard Jenner helped in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 off Western Australia in March.

Mr Wall said SES volunteers were motivated by the chance to help those in strife and public support helped immensely.

“When we look back at the scope

and number of jobs that we are called on to attend each year, the nights of missed sleep, the family events that we just don’t quite get to and the memories of too many times of having cold feet and wet socks, they are eased by the many thank yous and warm wishes from the many people that we are able to assist through some tough times,” he said.

Mr Wall thanked Kingston businesses and residents who had held fund raising events for the SES to ensure their invaluable work could continue.

Death of music’s biggest fan

Police patrol Lock up premises BUSINESSES in Kingston are urged to ensure their premises are securely locked following a spate of commercial burglaries.

Between 7pm on 28 October and 7am the next day, offenders gained access to a rear factory belonging to Able Tree Services in Hartwood Crt, Chelsea Heights, and stole a set of keys to a private vehicle parked in the yard.

The offenders then accessed the factory area and used keys left in a cherry picker to unlock a tool cabinet, stealing four chainsaws.

They then used a large drill at the premises to try to open a 100kg safe, but were unsuccessful. The safe was then loaded into the victim’s vehicle and driven away.

In an incident on 27 October, in Urban St, Braeside, an offender entered the factory/ showroom of Fine Form Joinery during business hours. After looking around the showroom, the male offender went up a private stairway and walked through two private offices before entering the employeeonly lunch area. There, the offender picked the pockets of staff clothes, stealing wallets containing about $500 cash and a number of credit cards.

With most cards now being pay-wave, they can easily be used numerous times before victims realise they are gone and cancel them.

Garage grab and robberies SERGEANT Lisa Prince, of the proactive policing unit, said it was not only businesses that needed to be secured. Houses also need to be locked up, including garages. Residents need to ensure all tools, including garden implements, are locked away. These items can be stolen, or used to break into houses.

Between 6-10pm on Saturday 25 October, intruders entered an unlocked garage in Derwent St, Mentone, and stole an angle grinder and mattock.

They used a tool to pry open a rear sliding door. They then tried using the angle grinder to open a safe, but failed. Other jewellery and cash were stolen.

In another incident, at about noon on Wednesday 22 October, intruders entered a house in Whatley St, Carrum, through an unlocked rear door while the victim was out for 20 minutes. Cash was stolen.

Thefts from motor vehicles are always a problem in Kingston. There were 19 incidents between 22-26 October in this area alone. Most concerned unlocked vehicles, with thieves targeting visible cash.

“Offenders will rarely break into locked vehicles where there are no valuables visible,” Sergeant Prince said.

Speeding hoon arrest KINGSTON police arrested a 50 year old Heatherton man in Braeside at 4.30pm on Saturday 25 October.

Police allege the 2012 Kawasaki was travelling at 140km/h in a 60km/h zone. The bike was impounded under hoon legislation and the man was released on summons.

OVER the course of several decades Hadyn Godony was one of the most consistent performers at live music venues in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

However, his reason for being on stage, backstage or mingling with the crowd was not so much making music, but driven by a love for the music and the need to photographically record the event.

Hadyn organised events and was seen by musicians as their biggest fan – he was a lifelong, devoted supporter.

Sadly, the music finished for Hadyn just after midnight Monday 27 October, when he passed away at The Alfred, where he had been receiving treatment for about five weeks.

A man of ideas and strong opinions, Hadyn carved himself a niche in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula music and live venue market.

His “Hotshots”, most often of groups of smiling people at clubs and pubs, for many years cornered the market in the various mastheads published by the Independent News Group. The pages of small head-filled photos were often the first opened, especially by young people who readily volunteered their poses for his camera.

Hadyn was responsible for the content of the papers’ entertainment section, Nightmoves, filling columns with reviews: restaurants, records and films all came within his field of expertise.

That interest saw him transition to Fairfax Community Network when it took over The Independent and subsequently changed the newspapers’ format, rebranding them as The Weekly. Always intensely loyal to whichever publication he was working for, Hadyn stayed with various papers under The Weekly banner until

be back the following week. And, of course, he was.

Before his death, at 58, last week, Hadyn penned what has now become his own epitaph: “In the winter of 1976 I fell in love with a girl who lived in Rosebud. In a heartbeat, I left my job at Kodak in Coburg and moved to McCombe St, next to what is now Port Phillip Plaza.

I soon discovered that I had plonked down in a place that I still call paradise.

I’ve revelled in a blessed life since; enjoyed two marriages and two divorces, and lived at 11 peninsula addresses.

Many of the most gorgeous years were spent at the former famous-farmhouse, Willochra, on the old Nepean Highway in Safety Beach.

Now, I love being in this 100-year-old clinker brick in Mornington.

My first ‘real’ job, on the peninsula, was at Hastings High School where I scored a super spot as the lab tech in the science department.

All the while loving music and hovering on the edge of the local scene, I fell into job writing about peninsula nightlife for the (then) local papers The Independent and The Mail. Carrying a camera soon became part of that and led to the Hotshots pages in a section called “Nightmoves”.

In 2007 they cut some chunks outta me, and gave me a five per cent chance of seeing this decade. I’m thankful for the angel on my shoulder.

Most days now, I’m either working as a journalist or a photographer for Mornington Peninsula Magazine and still love shooting people having fun.”

Hadyn Godony is survived by his mother Margaret and sister Catherine.

His funeral will be held 2.30pm Friday 7 November at the New Peninsula Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

they folded in mid-2013. He contributed work to the Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper, until early this year. At the time of his death he was working for Mornington Peninsula Magazine, owned by his long-time friend, Lisa Walton.

As his editor for several years, I appreciated Hadyn’s take on life, his optimism and ideas.

He would often make suggestions about our publications and, if rejected, wait a few weeks and make another play with the same idea, only repackaged. He was terrier-like.

I visited him in hospital some years before he was finally taken by cancer. He lay on a bed quietly as fluid drained from his lungs into a bottle at the bedside. He made no complaint, just asked me about the current week’s papers and spoke as if he’d

Wheelchair passengers ‘injured, stranded’ by taxis Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au A SERIES of disturbing reports concerning elderly and disabled wheelchair accessible taxi passengers who were allegedly seriously injured, stranded outdoors overnight and subjected to degrading treatment while travelling in the Frankston and peninsula region is under investigation.

Brotherhood of St Laurence Frankston staff said complaints had been lodged with the Victorian Taxi Directorate over the treatment of four clients, while Taxi Services Commissioner Graeme Samuel is also looking into the allegations.

In the most recent incident, a 75-year-old woman who has multiple sclerosis and is confined to a wheelchair was forced to spend the night in a bus shelter at Carrum Downs in “freezing” conditions after the taxi she booked failed to arrive.

Marice Hanary-Gleeson said she had booked a wheelchair accessible taxi a day in advance to take her home on the evening of this year’s AFL grand final following a game of bingo and had then made multiple follow-up calls throughout the night when the taxi didn’t show up.

She waited in a bus shelter on Frankston-Dandenong Rd “petrified and freezing cold” until 5am

when she was able to catch the first 901 bus service of the day to Frankston.

Mr Samuel described the incident as “completely unacceptable” and said he had spoken to Frankston Radio Cabs about the matter.

In a previous incident, an elderly woman’s leg was broken when her wheelchair tipped over while travelling in a wheelchair accessible taxi.

Earlier in the year, two disabled passengers were strapped together by their legs in the back of wheelchair accessible taxi.

Brotherhood of St Laurence staff said the middleaged man and women were “clearly very distressed” but where not able to verbally communicate with driver. A BCL staff member intervened and demanded the driver properly secure the wheelchairs.

BSL Frankston senior manager Michael Hillier said the incidents were likely only the tip of the iceberg and illustrated the difficulties people with mobility issues faced.

“Several serious incidents have occurred this year where our clients have been seriously injured because they haven’t been secured appropriately,” Mr Hillier said.

“For instance, strapping two people physically together rather than securing their wheelchairs to the base of the vehicle. These incidents can be frighten-

ing and degrading, and importantly, pose a serious risk to health and safety.”

He said the problem appeared to lie with “inexperience or poor training of drivers”.

There have also been growing problems with bookings following the introduction of a new centralised booking system by Frankston Taxis.

“We have a good relationship with Frankston taxis, who have worked hard to help manage our transport needs for our community activities,” Mr Hillier said. “However, since they centralised their booking system, we have noticed a decline in their understanding and responsiveness to the needs of our clients.

“Sometimes we have had bookings in place two days in advance, especially on the Mornington Peninsula, and the driver doesn’t show up, meaning the person not only misses out on the activity, but occasionally is out of pocket too if they have pre-paid for an event.”

Frankston Radio Cabs general manager Kevin Dunn said the company was treating the allegations very seriously and was awaiting the findings of an investigation into the most recent incident.

However, he said the company and drivers did all they could to ensure timely and safe transportation of all passengers.

Seniors free travel plan

Former party comrades: Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder, left, and Frankston MP Geoff Shaw at Frankston Train Station last month. Picture: Yanni

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au POLITICIANS are sometimes accused of taking a free ride at taxpayers’ expense but a new initiative could see Victorian seniors enjoy free public transport.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, no stranger to the pain transport costs can inflict after being sanctioned by the Parliamentary Privileges Committee over the improper personal use of a parliamentary vehicle, will introduce a private members bill if he is re-elected that would see seniors travel for free on trains, buses and trams. “For those seniors on pensions, travel can absorb a significant part of their income on a weekly basis and this can cause many to become isolated as they reduce their travel in order to cut down on living expenses,� Mr Shaw said.

Elderly rights campaigner John Murray, a Cheltenham resident, lobbied Mr Shaw to back the prospect of free public transport for seniors. “I approached Geoff because he was an independent‌ I tried some of the other state MPs, gave them a leaflet and told them to give me a ring and none of them got back to me,â€? Mr Murray said. “If Premier Napthine thinks Victoria is the greatest state in the greatest country in the world as he’s said on previous occasions, why don’t we have free public transport for seniors when New Zealand and countries throughout Europe do? Why don’t we have it here?â€?

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder said can already travel in two zones on weekend for free. “A senior can travel from Frankston to Whittlesea or Sunbury for $1.85 each way on weekdays, as the maximum Seniors fare is $3.90 for a daily,� Mr Mulder said.

“We will continue to provide the two free V/ Line free travel vouchers that Melbourne metropolitan seniors receive annually. We have also announced that we’re expanding the Seniors Card to more than 160,000 working seniors in Victoria.�

Mr Shaw’s push for free public transport travel for seniors comes at the start of the official campaign period ahead of the state election on 29 November.

Voters’ dissatisfaction with public transport, especially on the Frankston line, is regarded as one of the main reasons Mr Shaw won the Frankston seat for the Liberals from then Labor MP Alastair Harkness at 2010’s poll.

Mr Shaw subsequently resigned from the Liberal Party’s parliamentary branch in early 2013, unhappy the party had not backed him over allegations he misused his parliamentary car and fuel card.

He severed all ties with the Liberals in March this year, quitting as a party member just before the party was due to hold a meeting to decide whether to expel him.

Victoria’s Office of Public Prosecutions dropped all dishonesty charges against Mr Shaw in December last year but that did not stop the Victorian Parliament’s Privileges Committee in June this year finding Mr Shaw allowed his parliamentary car and fuel card to be used by employees of his hardware business.

Mr Shaw faces a tough political battle to remain Frankston’s MP, holding a slim margin of just 0.4 per cent after electorate boundaries redistribution.

Liberal Party candidate Sean Armistead and Labor candidate Paul Edbrooke hope to win the seat for their respective parties.

The News sought comment from opposition spokeswoman for public transport Jill Hennessy as to whether Labor would back Mr Shaw’s free seniors public transport proposal but did not hear back before publication.

Boaties in spotlight as anglers hook into snapper Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au MORE than 1800 recreational anglers took to the waters of Western Port and Port Phillip last weekend for the country’s biggest annual fishing competition, the Tea Tree Snapper Competition.

Tim Worral of Cranbourne South was crowned new Victorian Snapper Champion after landing an 8.83 kilogram big red in Port Phillip, while Darren Moore of Tyabb and Michael Haddad of Bittern came in second and third with catches weighing in at 8.68kg and 8.41kg respectively.

In the juniors section, Jasmine Buis of Ferntree Gully was crowned the winner with a 7.14 kilogram catch, while Josh Costanzo of Lysterfield (7.04 kg) and – Billy McGinn of Hastings (6.64 kg) came in second and third.

The two-day competition got off to a flying start on Friday as anglers looked to beat a weather change that brought heavy winds and rains late Friday and throughout the day on Saturday.

A total of 1820 competitors, including 196 juniors, took part in the competition, with 1194 of the 1885 snapper caught being hooked in Western Port.

Competition spokesman John Vincent said the vast majority of fish were hooked and weighed in on Friday at stations in Carrum, Hastings and Mornington.

“Anglers were well aware of the change coming on Friday night so most of the competitors were on the water on Friday to make the most of the good conditions,” Mr Vincent said. “It was pretty rough out on the bays on Saturday so numbers were down, but the official presentation on Saturday afternoon at Mornington Racecourse was still a big success – in between the showers.”

Police, fisheries officials and maritime safety officers were also out in force on the bays over the weekend for the start of snapper season to ensure safety regulations and bag limits were observed.

Uniform and water police, joined Fisheries Victoria officials and Transport Safety Victoria officers to inspect boats, trailers and vehicles at boat ramps across the bayside, Frankston and peninsula region, while breath tests and checks on safety equipment were also conducted.

Fisheries Victoria acting director for education and enforcement Ian Parks said fisheries officers would be focusing on size and bag limits in addition to checking licences during Operation Raptor, which will runs from the Melbourne Cup weekend across the holiday season.

He said fisheries officers would be targeting snapper anglers in Port Phillip and Western Port day and night over the course of the season, so it was vital fishermen knew the catch limits and stuck to them.

“Fisheries officers will be out in marked and unmarked vessels, seizing boats and fishing equipment where snapper bag and size limits have been exceeded,” Mr Parks said.

“Anglers who breach snapper bag and size limits

face multiple fines of up to $433 on the spot, or $10,000 and/or six months imprisonment.

“The courts can prohibit offenders from fishing altogether for up to 12 months if found guilty of recreational fishing offences and, for serious offences, this prohibition can be even greater.”

The minimum legal length for snapper is 28cm and the bag limit is 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm. Snapper must be landed whole so Fisheries Officers can measure them.

Operation Raptor is targeting the illegal take of snapper in Port Phillip, Western Port and Corner Inlet as larger snapper are known to aggregate in these waters during spring to spawn.

“After spawning, snapper feed and then school, making them vulnerable to exploitation at a time when many fishers are taking to the water to make the most of the great opportunities on offer,” Mr Parks said.

“While most fishers adhere to bag and size limits, we urge all fishers to do the right thing to ensure these fishing opportunities remain for future

generations. Stick to the limits, take only what you need and release surplus fish swiftly.”

Mr Parks urged members of the public to report suspect illegal snapper fishing by calling the 13FISH (13 3474) intelligence reporting line.

“Make the call and make a difference - you will remain anonymous and will be helping Fisheries Victoria protect the future sustainability of our fisheries.”

The state government announced last Friday additional boating safety officers had been deployed across Victoria to assist Transport Safety Victoria’s maritime safety branch in promoting safety on the water this summer.

Minister for Ports David Hodgett said the extra boating safety officers, funded under the state government’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program, would play an important role in educating the state’s estimated 270,000 recreational boaters and help to spread information about boating safety.

Rigging up to catch a big red... within limits

Hooked: Justin Savage with with a four kilogram snapper caught off Mt Eliza.

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro THIS time of year snapper are all the rage, so with this in mind here's a basic guide to get you setup for success.

Snapper are best targeted with fast tapered (soft tip and powerful butt) 4-10kg outfits. My personal preference is for a rod of about two metres long, which gives me the ability to keep lines away from the boat and provide a greater separation between the lines.

Longer rods also help in casting lightly weighted baits. Both spinning and overhead outfits are suitable, but reels with a bait running/feeding system are preferred. This gives the angler the ability to set a preset bait feeding drag (typically no tension to one kilogram), in theory allowing in greater hook-up rates.

In shallower water braided line has little advantages and a good quality

4-10kg monofilament line will suffice.

Reels should be capable of holding about 260 metres of the chosen class of line.

For those fishing with reels without a bait feeding feature set the drag at about one third of the line’s breaking strength (normal drag or fighting drag setting).

In this situation the fast taper of the rod should hook the fish.

When the rod loads up simply lift/ hook into the fish. This method is particularly effective when using soft baits like pilchards, couta and other fish fillets. It’s also very effective when using silver whiting and garfish heads.

When fishing for Snapper I like to uswe as many rods as possible (four a person limit). To do this successfully you will need to use rod holders.

I prefer to use a snapper rack style holder which come in both a port and

starboard configuration.

The rods tips when placed in the holder should be no more than 30 degrees to the water. Rods when placed in the holders should be regularly attended to, lines should be kept taught and baits checked regularly.

The best rig for snapper in Port Phillip is a two-hook running sinker rig with 1-2 meters of 30-40lb fluorocarbon leader. I have one hook sliding and one hook fixed. Hook size is dictated by bait size. I typically like to use big baits so more often than not I use 6/0 hooks, but in general snapper anglers will fish with hooks ranging from 2/0 – 8/0.

When fishing with a sliding hook rig I use a suicide hook as the slider and either a bait-holder, suicide or Limerick hook as the fixed hook. When fishing with a sliding hook rig make sure that your slider is either the same size or

smaller than your fixed hook. This gives the bait symmetry, helping in presentation.

Always use quality hooks as snapper have very strong jaws and tough bony mouths so hooks should be very sharp and very strong.

So get on the water and get on the fish. We are so lucky to have a world class fishery right on the doorstep of a capital city.

Remember, it's our responsibility as the users to maintain, monitor, respect and protect our beloved finite resource.

Tight lines and calm seas. n Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Peninsula treasure in hinterlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart ENJOYING its own splendid slice of the peninsula hinterland, and from the air so reminiscent of a beautiful Tuscan villa, rarely has a property of this calibre come onto the market. This stunning rural retreat is suitable for equestrian pursuits, or the operation of a hobby farm with goats or alpacas roaming free around the 9.25-hectares. Divided into seven paddocks - each with a water supply- the central lane ways are an excellent improvement for ease of access around the property. The spectacular entrance is framed by wrought-iron gates, with a sweeping driveway threading its way through macrocarpa trees to a wide parking bay at the front of the home. With the grand feel of times gone by, the majestic foyer has a sweeping staircase that takes you up to the bedroom wing and a third living area. A formal living room has a gas log fire, and a formal dining room will comfortably seat 12 guests. The kitchen is centrally located to the formal areas and a beautiful open plan area that incorporates a casual meals zone and a family room. The splendid kitchen features quality appliances by DeLonghi with an under-bench oven and gas cook top, an Asko dishwasher and all complemented by stylish granite benchtops.

From the upstairs living room there are superb views across the property, and you can relax in style at the end of the day in the opulent master bedroom suite that boasts a walkthrough robe to a spa ensuite, and a parents retreat where you can cosy up and watch the sunsets. Three more king-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes and have their own special rural outlook. There is a double garage under the roof line that together brings the home to an impressive 390-square metres (42 square) with several quality outbuildings for farm vehicles and livestock.

MARKET PLACE

Hot buying opportunity

STILL presenting in as-new condition, this fine brick-veneer unit has a well-designed floor plan and with a location close to John Paul College should appeal to the investor.

The comfortable interior has a crisp white decor with a carpeted lounge and dining area featuring split system heating and cooling. Overlooking the living zone is the kitchen with stainless-steel appliances including an under-bench oven with gas cooktop and a dishwasher. The three bedrooms are surprisingly spacious and all come with built-in robes and share the one bathroom. At the rear of the home is a small grassed area abutting a neat courtyard which can be accessed from the living area and also from the single garage which has internal access via the laundry.

THIS charming home could be your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket for convenience and a great lifestyle for years to come. Set on a manageable 670-square metre block, the three-bedroom home showcases a bright and elegant interior with a spacious lounge room boasting a lovely open-fire and a timber kitchen has a dishwasher. There is a separate dining room for grand dinner parties, and with the warmer months and longer days coming, the good times can spill out to the undercover patio. For serious car people or hobbyists, the four-car garage and extensive rear workshop with rest room will be the big drawcard for buyers seeking space for extra vehicles and all the tools. The home has had a recent refurbishment and includes ducted heating and air-conditioning.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville state school upheaval Compiled by Melissa Hodge MESSSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next for which entries will be received by the firm at Frankston or Mr. C.E Gomm, Somerville. *** THE Honorable A. Downward will address the electorate in Mornington at the following places during the month: Hastings 11th, Sorrento 11th, Somerville 21st, Frankston 24th, Mornington 25th, at 8 o’clock. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club committee on Tuesday athletes for matches during the next few weeks were arranged. Today the players hope to journey to Dandenong, the team to be comprised of Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Watson and Uther, Dr Maxwell and Rev. U. A. Kichen. *** NEXT Sunday, November 8th, is the world-wide Temperance Sunday, when all ministers are earnestly requested to preach Temperance sermons in their churches, and give Temperance addresses to the young folk in the schools. This request will be complied with in the Methodist church, Frankston. The Rev Jackson will be the preacher, morning and evening. *** THE annual Sunday School picnic in connection with the Methodist Church in Frankston was held on Tuesday last at Ballam Park. The

day was beautifully fine and a large number of children and adults took advantage of the public holiday to enjoy a day’s outing in the beautiful park so kindly lent by Mr C. G. V. Williams, J.P., for the occasion.

The picnickers were conveyed both there and back by Mr Benson’s cabs.

The day was spent with the usual games and sports, incidental to such occasions, which was varied by afternoon and evening refreshments, which were thoroughly appreciated by old and young, and the opinion was freely expressed that a delightful day had been spent. *** MUCH dissatisfaction has been caused by the Education department to parents of children attending the Somerville State school.

Through the indifferent attitude of some officials communications are shelved or ignored altogether.

Three years ago the school was condemned by the health authorities, and it was decided by the department to erect a new school.

After considerable delay in starting the work, the building was completed three months ago, and the head teacher received word to resume work in the new school.

No school furniture was provided.

The desks from the old school are being used, and over twenty scholars have to sit on the floor.

The department promised to send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee has delayed the official opening until all are promised to

send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee is disgusted at the methods with which the department is worked. *** THE November sittings of the Melbourne Court of General Sessions were opened on Monday Judge Johnston presiding.

Mr Woinarski, K.C., Prosecutor for the Crown.

John J. Fitzpatrick, 19, motor driver, pleaded guilty to the theft of money from Mrs Hunt, of the Bay View Hotel Frankston as a bailee and the theft as agent of a number of bicycles. Mr Abraham (instructed

by Messrs Boothby and Boothby) appeared for the accused, and asked that he should be given the benefit of the First Offenders Act. After hearing evidence as to character, his Honor sentenced accused to six months’ hard labor on each charge, concurrent, sentence to be suspended upon accused and his father each entering into a bond of £25 that the accused would be of good behavior for three years. *** THE social arranged by St Pauls Club, in aid of the funds of St Pauls Church was attended by over 120 people on Saturday night last.

The first part of the evening was filled with vocal items. The following being the programme: in a Duet Misses Sherlock and Cosskell ; songs

by Mrs A. Aitken, and Messrs Bows.

C. Ellis, J.C.Garrood, N. Jackson, and Wilson (Kooyong Club).

The absence of two members

caused the abandonment of the farce which had been given so successfully three nights previously in Langwarrin.

To fill the gap, some of the performers sang more songs, and recitations were given by Mrs Alexander and Mr Myers.

After an enjoyable supper a short dance followed with music supplied

by Mr C. Elie and Misses Jaeger and McGrath.

The National anthem was sung just before midnight *** A MEETING of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday and a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** MR Mark Brody of Frankston, has been appointed Substitute Returning Officer for the electoral district of Mornington. This writ will be issued on Monday. Nominations close on 16th. Election day, Thursday 26th November. *** CR Murphy will address the electors in the Tyabb Hall on Tuesday next, and at Somerville on Wednesday, 11th November.

The candidate will again speak at Mornington on the 26th November and at Frankston on the 25th (the evening before the election). *** FRANKSTON Choral Society’s grand complimentary concert to Rosa Alba, the peninsula songstress born near your own township, gives credit

to any place as a singer, after singing at the Melbourne concert. “A favorable impression was made by Miss Alba who sang D’ell Aqua Villaince.

She is a soprano of exquisite quality and possesses excellent powers of execution.” The Age. *** LAST Sunday was an anniversary day in connection with the United Sunday School at Pearcedale.

The afternoon service was conducted by the Rev. Mr Watt, Church of England minister, and that of the evening by a Student (Methodist) from Queen’s College.

The singing by the children, under the leadership of Mr Hobbs, was really excellent and deserving of great praise.

On Tuesday evening the public meeting was held, the hall being well filled. The chair was taken by the Rev Mr Watt, of Hastings.

The programme was varied, full of interest, and instructive, and was very satisfactory to all concerned. *** THE Railway Commissioners have taken steps to investigate the complaints regarding disorderly conduct on the 5.09pm train from Melbourne to Mornington last Saturday, and the alleged failure of certain officials to check the nuisance when it was reported to them. For some time past a special watch has been kept by plain clothes officers detailed for that duty to prevent disorderliness.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7th November, 1914.

The facts about heel pain and plantar fasciitis HEEL pain is extremely common, in fact over 80 per cent of Australians will suffer it at some point.

Common symptoms include: - a painful or bruising feeling first thing in the morning - throbbing at the end of the day - stiffness/soreness when standing up after sitting - pain during/after activity Musculoskeletal Podiatrist, Dr Tim Kirwan from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says, “There is much misinformation about heel pain, often leading to misdiagnosis. Heel pain symptoms are most often diagnosed as either heel spurs or plantar fasciitis but this may not be accurate.”

So lets sort fact from fiction.

What is heel pain? Most heel pain occurs when the plantar fascia (connective tissues running along the bottom of the foot), becomes overloaded, resulting in degeneration of tissues.

During weight bearing activity the fascia can be strained and repeatedly pull on the heel bone, often leading to the formation of a heel spur.

However, the spur itself rarely causes pain, it’s the degeneration of the surrounding plantar fascia or soft tissue that does. This is known as Plantar Fasciosis, not Plantar Fasciitis, which most heel pain is often incorrectly diagnosed as or referred to. One is degenerative, the other inflammatory in nature and they need to be treated very differently, and therefore must be diagnosed properly.

The key to assisting heel pain is, NOT to use anti-inflammatory treatments, which are too often prescribed. These won’t fix heel pain and can prolong the injury and increase the risk of further tissue damage.

The good news is there is often a simple, natural solution to heel pain.

“Most heel pain is a result of faulty foot function (or biomechanics) associated with environmental factors, but with correct diagnosis and treatment it can be assisted very effectively.

Don’t just put up with heel pain. If you’re getting treatment and not getting results, get a second opinion” Dr Kirwan said.

Buskfest on its way ROSEBUD Buskfest, on Saturday 8th November, is the first of what will hopefully become an annual busking competition held through the streets of Rosebud.

This year 30 performers, mainly musicians, have been selected to participate, competing for the coveted first prize of $1000 cash.

Playing throughout the morning from 10am – 1pm, buskers will be located outside shop and cafes all the way from Jetty Road through the town centre with another group located outside Rosebud Plaza and around the shops at the corner of Boneo Road. Throughout the morning the panel of three judges will make their decisions on the originality, talent and crowd appeal of the buskers. The judges are Michael Moss, Steve Bastoni and Ian Pav, three accomplished professionals who are actively involved in the singing, teaching, acting and production industries.

The busking competition is the brain wave of local musician

Heidi Luckhurst who has worked alongside Rosebud Chamber of Commerce to make the event a reality. Heidi said she has been blown away by the quality and variety of entries from far and wide. She also expressed sincere appreciation at the support of the sponsors, and for the variety of professional development prizes which can been offered to the lucky winners.

There is a category for under 14’s to encourage young talent and with the main category embracing performers of a vast array of ages, both soloists and bands.

The announcement of the winners will take place at the RoseGPO Hotel at 2pm on Saturday, with the winners taking away a range of prizes including a full production package, singing lessons, performance gigs and cash, with the overall outstanding entertainer taking out the $1000 cash.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Come back Dexter, all is forgiven

By Stuart McCullough IS nothing sacred? As it turns out, reality television is not the most reliable means by which to find the love of your life. Who’d have thunk that a process involving televised dates and horticultural beneficence might be anything other than failsafe? Let me be frank (which, at this point, is a lot better than being Blake), I have never watched an episode of The Bachelor.

As best I can tell, it’s an awkward mix of Survivor and team selection for the lunch hour cricket match in primary school. Even though the series ended with a marriage proposal, it was impossible not to suspect that, in fact, the whole thing would end in tears.

It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for everyone involved. Not just the cast either; I’m talking about everyone remotely connected to the whole miserable experience from the catering staff to the dude who sweeps up after the rose ceremony. It’s difficult enough being rejected. To have it televised to the nation seems unnecessarily cruel, even by the lofty standards of reality television. That’s to say nothing of a premise that involves a large number of women competing for the affections of just one guy. That is not how I remember single life at all.

Things have clearly not gone to plan. It’s often said that the heart wants what the heart wants. As it turns out, the heart also wants a front-page story in a national magazine. I’m not sure whether to feel betrayed or a little worried for people who are so eager to lay themselves down on the media’s

PAGE 26

sacrificial altar. I shouldn’t judge. After all, who us can unlock the mysteries of the human heart?

Fact is, love and TV have had a long association. My personal favourite would have to be The Love Boat where hapless passengers were drawn together by a mutual fear of seasickness, an all-you-can-eat buffet and nightly performances by The Little

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 5 November 2014

River Band. Plus, they had a bloke called ‘Gopher’ who went on to represent Iowa in the United States House of Representatives (really). I can’t imagine a debacle such as the one we so recently witnessed on The Bachelor ever occurring on The Love Boat. For starters, Captain Stubing could have performed the ceremony on the spot.

Also, they take a dim view of mutiny

on the high seas. At the first sign of malarkey, someone would have been forced to walk the plank.

But unlike The Love Boat, the relationship between television and romance has not all been plain sailing.

Attempts to turn real-life relationships into viewing fodder have almost all ended disastrously in the true Hindenburg, ‘oh the humanity’ sense of the word. The television show Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ran for three seasons, which was almost precisely the length of the marriage itself. In Australia, we had Marty and Jess: An Outback Wedding that featured two former Big Brother contestants. They split after less than a year and a half of marital bliss. The evidence is clear: reality TV and romance are the ultimate odd couple.

That’s because something as important as love should never be exploited for ratings by reality television. It’s best left to the professionals. By which I mean game shows.

Were it not an infringement of intellectual property rights to do so, The Bachelor should take a very big leaf out of the Perfect Match playbook. According to scientific research, music and (possibly) strawberries are the food of love. You’ve got set the mood. Try and hum the music for The Bachelor.

Exactly my point – no one can. But if you were to substitute our national anthem with the theme from Perfect Match, I guarantee that everyone, from podium straddling Olympians to new arrivals would know all the words.

It’s often claimed that a good sense

of humour is highly desirable in a potential mate. However, like the 38th parallel of the Korean peninsula, The Bachelor is a heavily de-humourised zone. In contrast, Perfect Match was stuffed with laughs, both intentional and otherwise. But whether it was the humour, the sliding wall that delivered so many ‘There must be some kind of mistake’ moments that we, as a nation, can cherish forever, or the spectacular permanent sets that perched on the heads of host and contestant alike, there was much to love. You may think that my lauding of an ancient dating game show is a mere exercise in nostalgia, but you’d be wrong. Perfect Match was about the future.

Dexter the Robot remains the most sophisticated piece of technological hardware ever seen on Australian television. One part Dalek and two parts empty ice cream container, when he wasn’t busy coordinating space shuttle launches, Dexter appeared on Perfect Match. Although his role was confined to spitting out stats, he was capable of so much more. Most people don’t realise that Dexter had full weapons capability. Imagine it – the last rose ceremony of the season. The Bachelor, ready to do the honourable thing lest he should feel the sting of Dexter’s futuristic wrath. Forget shotgun weddings. Laser beam nuptials are the way of the future. Excited, I emailed Dexter. The response, however, was as short as it was direct: Dexter and the Bachelor have a compatibility score of 0%. Rejected again. Alas. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom the Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre on the 17th January 2015.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its Global Premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann, set and costume designer Catherine Martin, choreographer John O’Connell and co-writer Craig Pearce.

Strictly Ballroom the Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art back in 1984.

Tickets for Strictly Ballroom the Musical are on sale now from www.ticketek.com.au or telephone 132 849.

They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** LEGENDARY country singer, Ray Kernaghan, has been named 2014 Australasian Country Music Living Legend at the Slim Dusty Country Music Memories concert in Kempsey. The award honours an artist’s lifetime contribution to country music.

The announcement proved a popular choice. For decades, Ray Kernaghan has toured Australia and is the recipient of twelve Gold and two Platinum albums having reached sales in excess of one million copies, a major achievement for an independent recording artist.

His first album Me And Louie On The Road (1977) earned four Gold and one Platinum record. He was inducted into Tamworth’s Hands of Fame in 1981.

Ray was joined at the announcement by wife, Pam. *** THE Australian Defence Force (ADF) comprises the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

The three services operated more or less

independently until an integrated command structure was established with the formation of the Australian Defence Force on 9 February 1976.

The four domestic base rate (70c) stamps were designed by Tim Hancock of the Melbourne-based design studio XSD. The stamp designs are based on the caps and badges of the respective three services, with the fourth stamp depicting the Australian Defence Force Emblem.

Associated with the stamp issue is a special prestige cover. The ‘Remember Me to All’ prestige cover includes a facsimile of a pocket book carried by Private John Hector Croft of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the landing

at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Croft’s life was saved when an enemy bullet lodged in the pocket book after penetrating his arm. Also included is a facsimile of a letter written by Croft describing the incident.

Other products associated with this stamp issue include a miniature sheet, first day cover, stamp pack, booklet of 10 x 70c self-adhesive stamps, set of four maxicards and four designed gutter strips of 10 x 70c stamps.

A Century of Service: The Australian Defence Force stamp issue is now available at most Post Offices, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online at www. auspost.com.au/stamps.

Australia Post has given MP News

some prize packs to giveaway containing 1 x first day cover, 1 x stamp pack and 1 x set maxicards. .

The album features duets with Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, her son Jason Gould and Elvis Presley.

It’s the 10th hit album for the singer/ songwriter/actor and director with two Academy Awards and eight Grammys to her name.

Born Barbara Joan Streisand in N.Y in 1942 and was spotted at a Greenwich Village club. Streisand became the first person to win an Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Grammy. She has sold over 68 million records – 13 multi-platinum, 28 platinum, and 47 gold. She was the first woman to direct, write, produce, and sing in a feature film, Yentl. Streisand also holds the record for the highest grossing single concert at 14.6 million.

Once married to Elliot Gould and currently married to James Brolin.

Her astonishing vocal range has made albums like Guilty massive sellers and recently saw her voted the greatest female vocalist of all time. Her boundless energy and mesmerising charisma have made her a Hollywood superstar. *** THE Production Company has announced additional performances in its season of Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman masterpiece, La Cage Aux

cause of my cheap electricity, thanks to Lord Tony’s scrapping of the evil carbon tax. *** IN fairness I should add Denny has postponed the idea of improving the rail services between Caulfield and Dandenong until after the election; great idea. This can be included with those 2010 proposals on the road and rail links; Rowville and Doncaster, the Southland Station. “It’s all happening”. *** FAMOUS lines: “With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly” (Casablanca)...”It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen” (1984)...”There’s an old joke: Two elderly women are at a Catskill Mountain resort. And one of ‘em says: “Boy, the food in this place is really terrible.’ The other one says: ‘Yeah, I know. And such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.” (Annie Hall)...“Four beers please” (Homicide). “You can’t park there” (Pharlap). *** I SPENT some eight years in Bon-

beach as a teenager into mid twenties. My sisters still live there. We had pencilled in Northcliffe Lodge Aged Care (great name) if necessary. Alas, they are closing it down, or are they?

Where to next, assuming there is a next? Kingston Council CEO John Nevins “People in our facilities understand the disruption when someone has to move elsewhere”. Funny man. Perhaps they will include aged care facilities in the new leasing arrangements of the Quarantine station of Point Nepean National Park? Arthurs Seat? *** SPRING into a long hot Summer. Atmospheric beauty in shorts and neverending legs. As Saint Jerome said “The devil’s power is in the loins”.

The absolute joy of little kiddies frolicking in the Woolworths aisles cleverly avoiding my fists. Previous addictions to smoking, alcohol, gambling, ice and obviously sex all under control. “Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’” *** WHY is Michael Caton (Darryl Kerrigan; “The Castle”) urging us to move to The Village Glen, Ti Tree Lodge, Rosebud? Does Michael live on the Peninsula? Has he spent one night at the Village Glen? It could be me, living alone, listening and watching all this rubbish. Now’s the time to detox, others instruct me, or use roll

on painaway? A television monstrosity “A big brother double eviction tonight after the block”? Mein Gott!

Am I complaining again? Damn. *** AS a Collingwood supporter many years of biassed reporting and crooked umpires has provided me with a thick skin when times are tough, like now. One learns to look on the bright side no matter what, by nature wondering if things could get worse.

Imagine: The Abbott government appointee to the ABC Board, Peter Lewis, could succeed in his possible leg cutting role despite the expected enthusiastic support from Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Add to this the possible financial downfall of Fairfax and bingo...years back in the long dark tunnel, 1890’s style. Brrr. *** WHERE is the democracy in either of our political parties or in the Palmer United mob? I find it difficult to see how they continually shove this “democracy” word down our throats with no evidence to support it, in fact much evidence to the contrary? How can governments create unlimited powers without creating evil? Human nature does not allow it. Never has, never will. *** IT’S fair to say we are all thrilled by the likelihood of Qantas posting a first quarter pre-tax profit, not only

Folles (pictured). These additional performances in the Playhouse at Arts Centre Melbourne are on November 21 and 30 and December 2 and 7.

Todd McKenney is Albin, the star attraction of La Cage Aux Folles, a nightclub in St Tropez. Georges, played by Simon Burke is his partner. Also starring Rhonda Burchmore as Jacqueline, Marg Downey, Aljin Abella, Emily Milledge and Robert Tripolino. 2014 Helpmann Award winners for best director and best choreographer, Dean Bryant and Andrew Hallsworth team up with musical director, Mathew Frank to create this new staging.

Winner of six Tony Awards in its original Broadway season, La Cage Aux Folles is universally known for its anthem I Am What I Am and the songs You on My Arm and The Best of Times.

Harmony will deliver music from her new album Cautionary Tales (Warner) including the first single Skinny Flat White which was No.1 on the Country Music Channels video airplay chart and the new single 30,000 Feet which was released to radio this week.

Lachlan will feature songs from his acclaimed album Black Coffee including his current single You. www.harmonyjames.com www.lachlanbryan.com

A Grain of Salt THE state election looms with the usual fear tactics; Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Health Minister David Davis, apparently honourable gentlemen, would surely be better supplying us with a list of achievements and policies rather than this constant fear of Labor over-spending. TAFE, ambulances, public transport and the enthusiasm for train lines Mentone to Frankston. The Libs (and Labor) provide an obscure canvass of doubtful promises, obviously busy swapping those USB sticks; nice to be young and deviant. *** YET again I’ve received complaints from readers, complaining I complain too much? I get the message, so I’ll try to be nice. Herewith: I was at Mordialloc recently taking a walk along the beautiful Port Phillip Bay, and lo and behold there was Premier Denny, fishing. I assumed there was an injured fish as is his want, but no, just fishing, relaxing. It happened by chance there were photographers close by, obviously spotting Denny like I did. I felt a warm glow. Bonzer bloke. Okay complainants; feel better now? *** YOU want more? Excellent. My mate Joe Hockey says by paying 40 cents a week more for petrol we are helping create 6000 jobs. Chicken feed Joe mate, and more than happy to pull my weight. In fact I’m well in front be-

By Cliff Ellen for those loyal struggling shareholders but also for our little Irish humdinger Alan Joyce, hopefully paving his way to a decent $2 million plus bonus if the trend continues. We pray for the “transformation plan” as some sort of comfort to those 5000 ex employees as a result of the cost cutting exercise. *** REMEMBER cricket? One-day, 20/20, whatever. Overpaid and destroyed by greed. So sad...Amazingly true: almost all of our Liberal politicians believe the ABC is biassed and at the same time believe the House of Representatives speaker (Bronwyn Bishop) is unbiased?...“If you don’t love it, leave it” walk? Ratbags on Parade?...Roberta Williams is not Carl Williams...This 457 visa thingoany chance of a Philippino lady to care for me?. An independent survey of Herald-Sun readers disclosed some 94% had no idea who wrote W Somerset Maugham’s autobiography......Medicare, free education, the end of conscription and many more.

The right-handed thrashing machine strode to the crease with his side having lost 2/2.

When Anthony Blackwell (62) joined Jewell, the Sorras were 3/48, chasing 229 for the win.

Together, Jewell and Blackwell wrenched the game away from the Mounties, getting within a handful of runs for victory with ten overs to spare.

Unfortunately, Blackwell wasn’t able to walk from the field with Jewell at the end, bowled out by Nick Baron.

While the Sorras are sitting pretty in the top four after the win, Mt Eliza is in some early season trouble.

After three rounds of matches, the Mounties are yet to win a game of cricket.

Certainly the underachievers at this stage of the season.

For the third time in two seasons, Langwarrin wilted under the pressure of the Mornington pace attack.

The Kangas’ bowlers did a great job last week restricting Mornington to 158 in their 80 overs.

However, when it came time for the batsmen to keep up their end of the bargain, they buckled terribly.

Only two Langwarrin batsmen made it to double figures, skipper Mark Cooper with 42 and James D’Atri with 26.

Mornington quicks Michael Heib and Matt Foon completely dominated the Kangas. Foon finished with five wickets and Heib snared four.

Langwarrin was bowled out for 119 in the 70th over.

Long Island got the points against Moorooduc and sits on top of the Provincial ladder.

The Ducs were bowled out for 103 on the opening day of the match last week and the Islanders were 4/89 in

reply.

There wasn’t a lot of need for cricket on day two, the rain playing its part and the game being closed with Long Island leading at 6/130.

It was enough for the home side to collect the 12 victory points.

Crib Point wasn’t under any pressure against Pines, winning by more than 40 runs.

After making 203 on the first day of the match, the Magpies rolled the Piners for 162.

Pines’ skipper Ricky Ramsdale was the only batsman to offer any resistance, top scoring with 73.

Luke Herrington was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/38, while Glenn Barclay snared 3/57.

Baxter got out of jail against Peninsula Old Boys.

Reeling at 5/133, chasing 229 for victory, the rains came and the match was abandoned, saving Baxter from probable defeat.

In the final match, Rye’s bowlers completed their end of the deal and restricted Heatherhill to 207, handing the visitors a 55 run victory.

After making 262 on the first day of the match, Rye, led by skipper Tom Baron with 4/58, made things difficult for the Hills from the outset.

Jake Theobald was a shining light for the Hills, scoring an unbeaten 96.

Joel Lynch and Leigh Lambert also took two wickets each for the Demons.

Rain causes grief for Blues DISTRICT

By IT Gully Hastings is still yet to win a game of cricket this season in MPCA District grade, despite being in a commanding position against Carrum on Saturday.

After making an impressive 270 on day one of the clash last week, rain prevented the Blues from revelling in the sweet taste of victory on Saturday.

There is no question that if the weather had not influenced the match, Hastings would have been celebrating a rare win on Saturday night.

When the game was eventually called off, Carrum needed 102 runs from 19 overs with three wickets in hand. There was no way that this was going to happen.

Hastings’ bowlers were on top from the get go with openers Mitch Floyd and Benny Johnson getting the job done.

Floyd bowled 16 overs and finished with 2/53 while Johnson bowled 13 overs and had tidy figures of 2/31.

It was good to see Carey Sawosz thrown the nugget and allowed to show his craft. Sawosz, a talented all-rounder, bowled a team-high 17 overs and finished with the solid figures of 3/44.

However, despite the great bowling from the Blues, Mother Nature had her way and prevented them from picking up the win.

Shaun Foster top scored for the Lions with 70, while Dean Polson scored 38. As well as the rain, it was their 71 run partnership that prevented Hastings from winning.

New kids on the District block, Red Hill, sit undefeated on top of the ladder after knocking over last year’s grand finalists, Delacombe Park.

On the small Delacombe Park ground, the 192 that Red Hill set last week didn’t look like enough.

However, Brent Martin bowled 29 overs for the visitors and finished with the match winning figures of 10 maidens, 5/44.

Earlier, the home side was cruising at 1/90. However, the Devils lost 7/40.

Nick Christides top scored with 48 and Joel Malcolm was next best with 44. Chris Brittain also made 37.

Flinders won a very close one against Baden Powell.

Last week, the Sharks rolled the Braves for 128, however, were 1/8 overnight.

Flinders finally got the required runs, eight wickets down.

Mark Maddock top scored for the visitors with 45.

Seaford Tigers were humiliated by Boneo.

Last week, it appeared that 9/145 in 80 overs was a poor effort from the Pandas, however, it proved to be enough to win the game.

The Tigers were bowled out for 118, skipper Matty Meagher was the top scorer with 31.

Stewart Mathieson, Jack Fowler and Cam Williams were the multiple wicket takers for the Pandas.

Somerville’s 251 proved to be enough runs to get the job done against Main Ridge.

Batting second, the Cougars lost 3/43 before Brad Rossborough (60) and Gareth Wyatt were brought together at the crease.

When Wyatt went with the score on 81, the target of 250 was always going to be too tough a total to get.

Eventually, thanks to 30 from James Abbott, the Cougars were able to scramble to 197. It still wasn’t enough to win.

Skye belted by the Stonecats SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully Frankston YCW picked up maximum points in their round three match against Skye, claiming an outright win in Sub District cricket on Saturday.

Despite rain playing its part at certain times throughout the match, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Stonecats from bowling out the Burras for a second time.

Resuming on 5/98 and leading by 27 runs, the Stonecats finally declared at 9/150, Luke Hutchison adding a further 14 to his overnight tally to finish with 65.

Paul Fillipone was superb for the Burras with 5/34.

However, when it came time to bowl again, Skye again crumbled, bowled out for 79.

Paul Bradley claimed 3/11 to give him match figures of 6/17, while Andrew Kitson picked up 3/26, giving him match figures of 6/41. Jeremy Daniel claimed 4/11 in the second innings to go with his 1/21 in the first.

When Skye was eventually bowled out in the second innings, scores were locked at 150 apiece.

The Stonecats needed just one over to get the one run required for victory.

Rosebud successfully defended its modest 161 against Pearcedale.

The Buds’ total certainly didn’t look enough against the Dales, especially when the score was 2/96.

However, the visitors lost 7/9 to be bowled out for 122.

Adam Bryant claimed 5/35 from 22 overs while

Jason Nagel picked up the other five wickets for 38 runs off 24 overs (13 maidens).

Gavin Moore top scored for Pearcedale with 37 and Chris Dew scored 33.

Tootgarook easily accounted for Balnarring, winning by 60 runs.

The Frogs’ total of 255 last week was always going to be tough to chase down.

Other than 49 from David ‘Disco’ Ross, the Saints were never in the hunt.

Ballam Park made it back-to-back wins with a solid performance against Tyabb.

The Knights are now sitting in the top four after knocking up two wins from their first three games.

Finally, after years of being on the deck, they are playing with a bit of confidence.

On Saturday, their skipper Ryan O’Connor was sensational.

O’Connor finished with 6/50 after having 1/1 overnight from one over. Leigh Parslow claimed 4/52.

Tyabb was bowled out for 147, chasing 177 for victory.

In the final match, Dromana picked up another win, this time against Carrum Downs.

The Hoppers were in the box seat to win the match, having the Cougars 2/29 overnight, chasing 169 for victory.

The Cougars were eventually bowled out for 132.

Jeff Bluhm was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 4/46, Craig Dunlop claimed 3/54 from 23 overs and David Timmer snared 2/27.

Ryan Lynch top scored for the Yabbies with 32 while Stuart Swift scored 29.

Rye lands new recruits thanks to coach connections FOOTBALL NEWS Rye has done it again!

AFTER losing Ryan, Jake and Luke Semmel in the off season, along with Chris Gleeson, last year’s Preliminary finalists have been able to replace them.

The Demons, thanks to some sweet talking from former Richmond player Michael ‘Butch’ Gale, have been able to pick up five players from EFL Club Vermont.

Gale played a handful of games for Rye and talked the place up as a good club to play for.

New Rye coach Josh Moore also has a connection having played in the EFL for many years.

The headline act in terms of names is former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor.

Another one is three time EFL League medal winner Ryan Mullet.

Many believe he is a much better player than Ryan Semmel.

The Demons have also picked up centre half back Dean Millhouse, forward/defender Kris Bardon and two time league medallist Nathan Henley, who plays midfield.

The only piece left in the puzzle is Justin Van Unen, who played with the five new recruits last season.

Money will be the only hurdle in seeing Van Unen back in the red and blue next season.

Another major coup for the Demons is the appointment of former coach

Steve Ryan, who is returning as runner.

Ryan said last week that he was ‘rapt’ to be back at the club.

“Having a year or two away from coaching won’t hurt I don’t think,” Ryan said.

“I reckon I’ll enjoy getting back onto the ground and stirring things up a bit.”

Moore isn’t planning on playing at this stage, which is a real shame given his wonderful ability. He would be sensational for the Demons if he can get out there.

In more good news for the Demons, it seems more likely that Rhett Sutton will stay. On 199 games, it would be a shame to see a star of the competition and the club to leave without playing 200.

Finally, Ben Holmes is looking forward to giving his mind and body a break. However, don’t rule out a JuneJuly return.

Buds sign a ripper WHILE Rosebud hasn’t been able to land five new faces, they have picked up Jason Bristow from Subiaco in the WAFL. Bristow, a former Chelsea junior, has played the last five or six season in the WAFL and won the Simpson medal for being the best player on the ground in last year’s grand final.

Graeme Yeats as coach, however, they are losing players.

Michael Kremmer, Nick Connellan and star of the competition, Brent Bowden, have all signed with Foster.

It is also believed that Brad Tagg may join them.

Sharks in all sorts AS reported some weeks back, Bonbeach has lost a lot of players, including big names such as Ricky Ferraro, Paul Rebeschini and Anthony Raso.

There are three who have gone to Hastings, Cal McQueen, Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster.

There was a lot of talk that Shane McDonald was heading to Chelsea.

Not the case. He is going to Mooroopna.
